At North Stradbroke Is. (Qld, Australia)
The title borrows from the same titled romantic era 1873 painting of a segment of the Fontainebleau forest, Paris, by Narcisse Virgilio Díaz.
Pioneers of the Romantic or Naturalist movement in landscape painting, like Diaz, were often found located in the Barbizon School. The school was a loose association of artists who worked around the village of Barbizon near the Forest of Fontainebleau.
Members came from different backgrounds and worked in a range of styles. They were drawn together by their passion for painting outside and their desire to elevate landscape painting, from a mere background to mythological or classical scenes, to a subject in its own right.
The rugged countryside and ancient trees of the forest held a powerful attraction and inspired several generations of artists including Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Theodore Rousseau, and Jean-François Mille, Renoir and Manet.
In turn, they inspire nature and landscape painters and photographers to this day.

My companions and I finally arrived at the beautiful Freycinet National Park, Tasmania (Australia). Series 2. We had booked really great accommodation it turned out -- a contemporary and stylish cement bungalow with all mod cons and views of the Three Peaks, almost on the beach; with wallabies trying to join us for dinner as we relaxed with chilled wine, oysters, cheeses, and delicious fruits on the back deck.
One of my friends -- the binocularist -- can just be seen in the dusk light taking a shot from the beach. Our booked yacht was moored across the water to the right; to be brought over in the morning for a sail around the lake then out to sea for a day. A great holiday venue! :-)

From beautiful Freycinet National Park, we -- the two photographers and the binocularist -- went south to visit Port Arthur Goal. Although a harsh place with tiny cells for the prisoners, the scenery was beautiful; and unlike the gruesome penal jails (like Sarah Island near Hells Gate Lighthouse) was considered revolutionary at the time.
This was because it was based on the idea that prisoners could be reformed through psychological punishment, trade training, and religious education.
Our visit included a haunted ghost trip, but sadly (or fortunately) did not attract any ghosts that night.
The next morning before heading north to Launceston, and the Tamara River to see the controversial site of the planned Bell Bay Pulp Mill (including old growth pulping), we first went south a bit to see more wild sea stacks from the dolomite cliffs.

After the rainforest hike at the beautiful Freycinet National Park (Tasmania, Australia. Series 2), which the previous fern frond pic paused, we returned that night after the hike to our contemporary and stylish cement bungalow at the beach, with such great views of The Three Peaks (see pic 10 pics b4, which also attracted an Explore).
In this pic, we -- the two photographers and the one binocularist -- have gotten up the next morning for a beach walk. The beach consists of sand and big granite rocks and boulders, with and without kelp.
Granites intruded the east coast of Tasmania about 400 million years ago, which the coast has long been famous for ... indeed, at night with a good sunset they glow like cinders, easily matching our BBQ!
Here, we can see an example of these awesome granite boulders framing the idyllic seascape, at the southern end of the Three Peaks.

Part of my 'Duffus Castle through the seasons' project.
The castle is situated on the Laich of Moray, a fertile plain that was once the swampy foreshore of Spynie Loch. This was originally a more defensive position than it appears today, long after the loch was drained.
The motte is a huge man-made mound, with steep sides and a wide ditch separating it from the bailey. The whole site is enclosed by a water-filled ditch, which is more a mark of its boundary than it is a serious defensive measure.
Duffus Castle was built by a Flemish man named Freskin, who came to Scotland in the first half of the 1100s. After an uprising by the ‘men of Moray’ against David I in 1130, the king sent Freskin north as a representative of royal authority.
He was given the estate of Duffus, and here he built an earthwork-and-timber castle. Freskin’s son William adopted the title of ‘de Moravia’ – of Moray. By 1200, the family had become the most influential noble family in northern Scotland, giving rise to the earls of Sutherland and Clan Murray.
In about 1270, the castle passed to Sir Reginald Cheyne the Elder, Lord of Inverugie. He probably built the square stone keep on top of the motte, and the curtain wall encircling the bailey. In 1305, the invading King Edward I of England gave him a grant of 200 oaks from the royal forests of Darnaway and Longmorn, which were probably used for the castle’s floors and roofs.
First of all, I like the dark overall mood of the image, coming along with the very nice blue hour tones which are reflected on the water and on the this awesome wet stones. The water with the dark reflections looks very velvet, which I enjoy very much. As well I do with the low hanging clouds and their movement captured by the long exposure. But what really made me to select this shot is that it was the only one with the shoreline in the foreground. For all subsequent exposures I opted for a cleaner composition. Finally, it is the messiness of the foreground which made this landscape very authentic for me. Thanks to the nice company of Alexander (@alexanderlinder_photo), who I met in the car park and who showed me the way over a small bridge and to this fantastic riverbed.

The autumn series continues... it's certainly a pretty classic theme, but I like the calm atmosphere, the soft colours and the beautiful grasses with the small road leading into the fog. Simple subject, well worth hanging on the wall.

Lion Rock at Piha from the estuary. About half an hour after sunset. I used the Protomachines LED 2 to light paint the rocks with blues and purples.

The snowstorms today were epic! Captured this one rolling across the landscape. Heading towards Butterton and Elkstone.
All in all a pretty grand day out with more images to follow I'm sure :)
Spynie Palace was for 500 years the seat of the bishops of Moray. During that time, the palace stood on the edge of Spynie Loch, a sea loch with safe anchorage for fishing boats and merchant vessels. A thriving settlement developed nearby.
Today, nothing remains of either sea loch or medieval settlement. But the impressive ruin of Spynie Palace is the largest surviving medieval bishop’s house in Scotland.
This nice waterfall has been taken at the very beginning of a fine walk up the Hörschbach gorge. While the water formed some smooth veil down the break-off edge, the wood in the background gave a nice autumnal mood to the scene. Note the fantastic palette of colors through the rock layers from the top to the bottom of the edge. Thanks to Nicky for joining me at this trip.

The ancestral seat of the earls of Moray
Duffus Castle was built by a Flemish man named Freskin, who came to Scotland in the first half of the 1100s. After an uprising by the ‘men of Moray’ against David I in 1130, the king sent Freskin north as a representative of royal authority.

A new stronghold
In about 1270, the castle passed to Sir Reginald Cheyne the Elder, Lord of Inverugie. He probably built the square stone keep on top of the motte, and the curtain wall encircling the bailey. In 1305, the invading King Edward I of England gave him a grant of 200 oaks from the royal forests of Darnaway and Longmorn, which were probably used for the castle’s floors and roofs.
By 1350, the castle had passed to a younger son of the Earl of Sutherland through marriage. It may have been then that the keep was abandoned, possibly because it was beginning to slip down the mound, and a new residence established at the north of the bailey.
Viscount Dundee, leader of the first Jacobite Rising, dined in the castle as a guest of James, Lord Duffus in 1689, prior to his victory against King William II’s government forces at Killiecrankie. Soon after, Lord Duffus moved to the nearby Duffus House. The castle quickly fell into decay.

One of my favorite photos taken this year.
I kept moving from dune to dune looking for a nice ridge pointing toward the sunset and some great ripples to catch the light. I thought I was going to be too late when I spied this dune in the distance. Luckily, I made it to the top just in time to line everything up.
White Sands is a great little park, I hope to return soon and share it with
Kay.
Emerging from the Fog - (click to view full image) - We took a couple early morning boat rides through the Bayou. The first morning we experienced heavy fog. The fog cleared around this tree just long enough for me to take a photo. The lake was hauntingly beautiful.

One example what can be done on a frosty morning with flat light: Open your apperature and spot some of nature's details. In this case some ice-covered flowers. Maybe someone can help me out with the name of this plant?

This was the last very good eclipse within the next ten years for central Europe. Moreover, the weather forecast seemed very well. OK, it was a little bit fresh (-4°C) but nothing good clothing can't handle. After a short while my tripod, camera and lenses were covered in frost. I burned three batteries in four hours. Hot tea and a morning-snack were very helpful as well.
